The turtles had gone back home to rest for a while until next patrol. In the kitchen, Leonardo was discussing their recent battle with Splinter.

"...their leader was crazy good" he continued "And by that I mean, good but still a little crazy. Besides, he had all these guys with him, it wasn't a fair fight"

"What do you mean, a fair fight?" asked Splinter.

"I mean like a fight where either side can win" Leonardo clarified.

"So, a fair fight is a fight where you can lose?" Splinter asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"Well, yes" Leo nervously said "Sort of...what..uh...mean...is..uh..."

"You don't want to assure your victory" Splinter told him.

Leo raised an eyebrow "What're you talking abou-"

Splinter swung his staff and caused Leo to fall flat on his shell. Then, he was about to strike Leo's neck with it, until Leo grabbed it.

"Now, was that fair?" asked Splinter.

"I see your point" Leo said achingly.

"Battle is about victory, not fairness" Splinter explained.

"Hai, Sensei" Leonardo nodded.

While Splinter helped Leo get up, the turtles and April were busy having fun and relaxing in the living room.

"Oh man" Mikey sighed as he read a magazine "Chris Bradford is so awesome. I wish he and I were friends"

"Mikey you have a human friend" said April "Me"

"April, we saved your life" said Mikey "You have to like us"

"Too bad there's no place for people to meet freaks where no one can see how hideous they are" Raph said as he was doing push-ups with his sai's.

"Actually, there is" said April "The internet. Donnie can I see your laptop?"

"Sure" Donnie said as he handed the laptop to April.

April pulled up a website "It's a site where you make friends with anyone online"

"Sweet" Mikey said as he grabbed the laptop and started making an account "Cowabunga! Chris Bradford is on this site, so he'll be my first friend"

April put a hand on her hip "Mikey, you can't expect people to respond instan-"

The computer beeped.

"-But sometimes they do" she remarked.

"Oh my god" Mikey gasped "Chris Bradford accepted my friend request! I have a friend!"

Mikey started jumping for joy and started kissing April.

"Thanks April!" Mikey said as he started to leave the lair.

"Where do you think you're going?" asked Donnie.

"To hang out with my new best friend, Chris Bradford" Mikey replied.

"Mikey, that guy is famous, so he probably has over thousands of friends" April told him.

"And guess who's number 5,286?" asked Mikey "Daniel Ramirez and I'm right next to him. Later"

Mikey leaped over the gate and walked right out of the sewers.

"Should we go after him?" asked Donnie.

"Nah" Raph replied "He's stupid enough"

On the surface, Chris Bradford was getting right out of his dojo and walking back to the place he was staying at. At that same time, Mikey landed right behind him.

"What up, dude?" he asked.

Chris turned around and saw Mikey right in front of him. Thinking he was a monster or something, Chris threw shruikens right at the turtle, which Mikey then dodged.

"No!" he said as he dodged the shurikens "We're friends"

"What?" asked Chris.

"We're online friends" Mikey clarified "You accepted me, remember?"

"Uh...of course" Bradford replied "Nice to meet you"

Mikey vigorously shook Bradford's hand.

"Won't you come in?" asked Bradford.

Later that night, the turtles were back on patrol. They were on the same roof on the same building that the ninjas probably came from.

"They must've been watching us from up here" said Leo "Perfect place for an ambush"

"Now that's not very fair" Donnie remarked.

"It's not about fairness, Donnie" said Leo "It's about victory"

At that same time, Mikey wouldn't shut up about his time with Chris Bradford to Raph.

"..and then Chris Bradford put on his hakama" he continued "Man, that guy can rock a hakama"

Mikey continued "And then, he-"

"Okay enough" Raph said, annoyed "You've been going on about this for hours"

"Looks like someone is jealous" Mikey gloated "You can't admit that you were wrong"

"I am not wrong" Raph said.

"Very well then" said Mikey "If you don't want to talk about my new best friend, then I've got two other brothers who do"

"Frankly, I'd not" Donnie said, equally annoyed.

"Same goes for me" Leo added.

"Fine" Mikey said "I'll just go see Chris Bradford himself"

Mikey leaped off the roof and went to Chris Bradford's dojo, where he was beating a punching bag.

"There's my best buddy in the whole world" Mikey said from behind.

Chris sighed "Michelangelo! Mikey! The Big M. How you doing, buddy?"

"Just fine Rad Brad" Mikey snapped his fingers.

"You know, I was just thinking that even though we're such good friends, we hardly know anything about each other" said Chris.

"You think we're close friends?" asked Mikey.

"Sure" Chris nodded "Now tell me everything about you"

"Well, I named all four of my toes" Mikey said as he showed his foot "There's Stubby and Joey Nails..."

"That's fascinating" Chris pushed Mikey's foot "But I was thinking of your impressive ninjitsu skills. You must have a great sensei"

"He's the greatest" Mikey said as he showed his other foot "Now meet the Stinky Twins"

Chris then put Mikey's foot down "I'm uh...hungry. Want something to eat?"

"Yeah" said Mikey "I want pizza! Do you like pizza?"

"Yeah, sure" said Chris.

"I love you, man" Mikey said as he hugged Chris.

Eventually, they got a pizza and started eating it on the edge of a billboard.

"Isn't this wonderful?" asked Mikey "Just a couple of guys hanging out, eating pizza?"

"Uh...yeah" Chris said, unsure "So tell me more about your brothers"

"They're cool" Mikey said as he ate another slice "But sometimes, I don't think they respect me"

"I can see why" Chris deadpanned.

Later, they went back to the dojo and Chris showed Mikey a katana (that's an ancient Japanese sword).

"Cool" said Mikey "Look at that katana. It looks so old"

"It's over 400 years old" Chris said, annoyed "But, about your sensei..."

"Look, Rad Brad" Mikey said as he started swinging the katana "There's some things I have to keep secret"

"But we're friends" Chris said as he grabbed the katana "And friends should tell each other secrets"

"So you're going to show me your secret kata, the Death Dragon?" asked Mikey.

"As a show of trust and friendship, I will show you the Death Dragon" Chris secretly grinned "But you have to promise not to show it to anyone"

But you Mikey, he told his brothers about the Death Dragon anyways.

"And then he kicks, twists and sweeps the leg" Mikey finished as he did the move "That's the Death Dragon"

"Cool" said Leo.

"Yeah" Donnie added "It's very effective, yet complex"

"And even Mikey could learn" Raph rolled his eyes.

"Hey!" Mikey glared.

Just then, the computer beeped. Mikey had received a message from Chris Bradford.

"It's Rad Brad!" Mikey said as he ran to look at the message "He wants to get together for a little B-ball. Can't wait to find out what the 'B' stands for!"

Leo saw Mikey take a leave out of the sewers "You're leaving now?"

"Sorry dudes" Mikey chuckled "Human friend stuff. You know how it is. Not wait! You don't!"

Unfortunately, Chris Bradford was with Xever at that very moment, reading Mikey's reply.

"The freak is on his way, and the trap is set" he snickered.

Xever looked at the katana "Pretty cool weapon for a tough guy, Bradford. In jail, we made our own weapons"

"I'll keep that in mind, if I'm stupid enough to end up in jail" said Chris.
